Will visit a very panoramic viewing spot at the north edge of Kyushu island. This is not known for foreign tourists at all, but just 30 minutes walk to a hill, about 360m altitude, amazing view with a comfortable wind. You will find yourself that it is really worth taking a walk. From the hill, you will be able to see my small home town and how north edge of Kyushu land finishes.

Pick up from Kokura or Shimonoseki district.
It is 100% natural field activities. Once we enter the trail, there is no toilet, no building, no vending machine, no trash. We will climb altitude 300m with 30 minutes walk. Most of the trail is well maintained, but some part we go through rocky part, and slippery slope. Therefore, please prepare your clothes and shoes to make yourself comfortable (No high heel, ladies). You will be surely sweating, so the spare T-shirt and a towel, some plastic bottle of drinks will definitely help you. If you are not sure about your equipment, you can ask me and I can give you an advice.
After we meet each other at JR Moji station, we will use a local bus to move to the foot of the mountain.
For your information, after you come back from the mountain, and you want to refresh yourself, there is one spa called "Raku-No-Yu", 5 minutes from Moji station, and I can take you per your request (entrance fee is 750yen, not included as a guide fee).
I am very active. If you want to have hike, climb, run, or walk in nature, I will be the best!
Basically I am flexible and I will be able to respond your request. The faster, the better.
“Fukuoka Experience ”
Yasuhiko is an excellent guide. This was my first trip to Fukuoka and I really enjoy Fukuoka. It was easy to communicate with him because he speaks English well. He guided me to my hotel and showed me other places I was interested. He is professional and friendly. I will book with him again.

“A Professional and Personable Friend plus Guide”
My wife and I booked Yasu in two occasions: to receive us at the airport cum walking tour in Hakata plus Tenjin and African Safari. Our flight was delayed for a good whole hour and after clearing immigration, when the sliding door opens, there he is: holding up my name with a smile. His eyes communicate a promise: I am here although you are one hour plus late. From the airport to hotel to drop off our luggage to the walking tour, Yasu communicates efficiently step by step in each maneuver and seeking our opinion in each step. He even taught us how to ride the Japanese sub-way, lol. Next day was the Safari. We went down to the lobby fifteen minute earlier than the scheduled time and he is already there. It was a long commute and no boring moments with Yasu. He sang well and we exchange jokes. By the way, he is a great photographer too. All the pics and videos turns out great. In conclusion, we had a marvelous time, thank you Yasu San. Wishing you all the best in your upcoming marathon and yes, you will complete the whole 42.195 km, we have confidence in you.

“Satisfaction guaranteed”
Yasuhiko-san is professional and personable. While he's ordinarily a tour guide, and I can imagine him being a knowledgeable and engaging one, I needed a Japanese-English interpreter for a meeting in Fukuoka. Yasu not only participated actively in our six-hour meeting, ensuring that I was kept in the loop throughout the day, first he scheduled our meeting and made sure he had everyones contact information - just in case. The other participants were busy professors/researchers and a city official, so Yasu's professionalism lent credibility to our gathering. In addition, he suggested that a journalist could support our efforts. When I agreed, he took it upon himself to email and then spoke over the phone with the journalist I had identified as a good match. I would trust Yasu with the best interests of a small or a large group. You can count on him to be well-prepared, attentive, flexible, and guarantee satisfaction.

(10 reviews)Erika-san, thank you very much for taking your time for my review. Guiding you was really different from any other guide experiences I had before, and I was a bit anxious how it would go. The moment I met you that feeling disappeared! I liked your personality, your encouragement to others and to yourself, and all of us were so motivated. It believe it was our destiny that you have chosen me, and I was the best one for you in Fukuoka. Keep my fingers crossed for your ancestral trip on the way. Good luck!! -Yasu
